Why should there be a double standard? There isn't a greater amount of damage.

Is there really though? Aren't we all assuming these people would have been charged differently if they had burned houses rather then churches? I mean how do we know what would have happened if we don't have that exact scenario to see the result of. I don't recall anyone posting evidence of people commiting serial arson on homes and getting a lesser sentence in the same court.
